Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta
  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot
  • Tongs or Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Season chicken with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Return chicken to the pan and toss in garlic butter.

Notes

Make it lighter by swapping heavy cream with half-and-half. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days.
